Shopify Discount Impact Calculator
Calculate how a Shopify discount changes contribution profit and the extra orders needed to offset it.
Formula: lost contribution profit divided by discounted contribution profit per order.
What this tool does
A discount is not a marketing strategy just because the coupon field lit up. This calculator shows how many extra orders the discounted offer needs to replace the contribution profit you give away.
How to use it
Use the AOV before the discount, then enter the discount percentage and per-order costs. Current contribution profit should come from your normal, undiscounted order economics. If you do not know it, calculate it first with a profit calc workflow.
How to use the result
If the calculator says the sale needs 140 extra orders, compare that against your actual campaign reach and conversion rate. A discount that needs fantasy-volume to break even is not a promotion, it is a small bonfire with UTM parameters.
